Hannam Hill : Jikook

Final Chapter - Our Family

Jimin felt quite put-out as he stood, with a bag in hand in the lobby of Hannam Hill.

He was forever thankful to June and the Captain's acceptance of his relationship with Jungkook. Two men's love for each other was such a hard concept to understand in a world that did not accept it.

He knew that their support could lead them to hardships themselves by less accepting people and vowed to do everything he could to minimise that chance.

Yet, he had hoped his family could have spared just a few minutes to wish him farewell from Snow Cottage, the only home he had ever known.

He knew he was only moving across the fields, but still, not even Tae came to say goodbye.

Instead he stood in the lofty lobby of Hannam, watching servants carry away luggage to their new home, his heart feeling a little wounded at being forgotten by his family. However, the moment was short-lived when his eyes set upon the Master of the House.

Jungkook breezed through the lobby towards him, looking particularly seductive. It took Jimin's breath away while taking in every inch of that perfect man. By the time the master was standing in front of him, Jimin was quite flushed, with his heart beating a little quicker than was acceptable.

"You are here at last...in my house...with me," Jungkook softly said, almost sending Jimin weak at the knees.

"I am, for as long as you'll have me," he answered back a little nervously.

"It feels a little sinful to be living under the same roof as my love and not be married." Jungkook mused.

With that thought in mind, Jungkook took a quick look around the lobby to see if they were alone and dropped to his knee.

"So, I am here to propose. Mr Jimin Park, will you do me the honour of staying by my side forever"

Jimin laughed loudly at the gesture. It was all very romantic and sweet, and although both knew a real official marriage was impossible for them. Jimin couldn't help but be caught up in the moment.

"Of course I will. I can't ever imagine finding anyone in the whole world I would rather spend my life with than you"

Jungkook was not sure the answer he would get to his proposal, but Jimin's words had taken him aback and he couldn't help but stare deeply into those beautiful eyes, as he contemplated how lucky he was.

"That's good to know" he eventually managed to say, then back on his feet, he reached for Jimin's hand pulling him across the lobby, to one of the far off rooms.

The heavy wood door creaked open, warmth radiating through the space as Jimin was ushered inside and was instantly stunned into silence.

The room was filled with people. People he loved. June, Captain Jin, young Tae, Hope, Mr Min, Mr Jackson and... his mother. His mother was there.

"Eomeoni" Jimin whispered, calling her by the Joseon word for 'mother'.

"You were not supposed to arrive until next week" he said, the words cracking with emotion.

Mrs Park was on her feet, crossing the room and wrapping her arms around her son tightly.

"I've missed you so much," she said, just holding him close as long as she could, both feeling tears of love dampen their shoulders.
